Skids was built using a Tamiya 1/24 Honda City Turbo kit, arms from Bandai's Master Grade RX-78 Ver.2, and Alt Silvestreak's head. Everything else is scratchbuilt with styrene, from the legs, waist, and even the articulated hands! All joints are polycap style from Kotobukiya's joint sets including the ball joints used for the feet .

Bare Metal Foil was also used for The Honda logos, and for various robot mode details.

The windows came out a bit darker than I wanted, but they do look much like the G1 toy's window. Initially I was going to leave the windows completely clear but when I realized that, with clear windows, the lower robot legs would look like empty boxes, I opted to tint the windows.

Car Mode pics will be in this first post, followed by the transformation, and then the robot mode.

F#ck! When you think of all the planning, all the measuring, all the scratchbuilding that has gone into this... & then it all comes together into something as beautiful as this. Without a doubt, the best Skids ever built. Ever.

Thanks! Alot of work definitely went in to him, and I'm definitely proud of the end result.

Damn dude, I'm blown away looking at all these pics. This is truly amazing work here, it's extremely impressive how tight the seams are in car-mode. You nailed both modes perfectly in my opinion, and the robot mode proportions are just astoundingly G1 look and feel. I particularly enjoyed the complexity of the transformation...The fact that you pulled off such a complex transformation and tightly-packed alt-mode is incredible, I could go on & on...Epic work here man, this is just beautiful.

just as i said in your w.i.p. thread your skills are amazing, this came out perfect!!! this is SO a MASTERPIECE!!! Cant wait to see your next project and i hope you show everyone everything like you did on this project.
